huKSer Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Taught / lived for 2 years in Elmwood - pop 630 now, don't know what it was in the early 80s. Everybody knows your business was the big minus. Close enough to Lincoln to do stuff was a plus Quote Link to comment

I would be nervous of my kids driving on 2-lane, country roads in bad weather. I would also be nervous of them driving out in the middle of nowhere to go drinking/partying, with no way to get back except driving themselves or riding with an impaired driver. I live in a town of 1200. Went to college at UNL. I can say unequivocally it is MUCH safer to drive in bad weather here than it is in Lincoln. 3 Quote Link to comment

Best thing about it was the pitch blackness at night. Great for stargazing. 1 The strip pits in SE Kansas are great for this. Great place for a keg party, too. Quote Link to comment

I would go to street fests during the summer and the ladies manning the gates that are supposed to check IDs and give wristbands would get confused and offended when they'd offer 17 year old me a wristband knowing full well how old i was and me refusing. 1 Quote Link to comment

I AM FOOT FOOT Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 My early years in a of 700 and then moved to Nebraska to a town of 1200 when I was 9 ,now my closest neighbor is a half mile away, wouldn't change a thing. Lived in Mankato mn for a few years and South Sioux city for five years, small cities but still to big for me,Kato is a nice town,SSC is a s#!thole with good pizza and Chinese food.I love my peace and quiet,being close to where I hunt and fish means more than my work commute. Planning a move soon back to Minnesota but way up north on the border.Another small remote town. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 I would imagine that selling a home in those small towns is a pain in the a$$. Quote Link to comment

In my experiences, it depends on how well you know the cops; if it was a local guy who knew your family and you weren't too belligerent/stupid, chances were good they'd either take you home and ring the doorbell, or take you to the station and have your parents come pick you up. If you were too far gone, or it was a state patrolman, you were ****ed. Quote Link to comment
